How many hours it can hold the temp hot? Normally it's 6 hours, or 4.

It holds the food more than 6 hours. If you want to keep your food hot more than 6 hours, here is what you do. Boil your water first, pour it in the container and keep it closed for about 5-10 mins. Your food should be kept steamy for up to 8 hours. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi I normally prep my Zojirushi for my son at 7am. At 7am, the food is very very hot and by noon, the food is warm/hot.. so I would say that if properly prepped, food is warm for at least 5 hours.

About 2-3 hours hot, but for up to 6 hours it keeps the food warm. I can't complaint. I am just glad that the food is still warm for their lunch. Hope this helps. ^^

I have not tried 6 hours.. I have tried 3 to 4 hours which has no issue.. I usually put the hot food around 8 or 9 and eat it around 12

it depends how hot you want it. I put mine for about 2 minutes and it lasts about 15 minutes. but then it cools and you redo it.

It varies with the beverage and whether or not you used hot water to heat up the mug before you put your beverage into it. Good 4 hours sometimes longer. Imagine it would be shorter time if in a cold area. I keep my car warm.

Sort of depends on what 'hot' is to you. I've had 3-4 hours of good temp. for my coffee with this thing. Does really well on keeping ice water icy as well!

It depends on the heat setting you choose. About an hour on high heat, 4 hours on low heat.

Pretty much the 12 hours it says. I microwave my child's lunch for 3,5 minutes at 7 am and it last really hot till 1.30 pm. But once she did not eat it and at 7pm it was still warm. It is by far the best thermos I had. I bought 3 other thermos for this purpouse and none of them is this good. My advice: go for it. Sorry for my english.

it will last about 5 hours realistically. However in very hot weather your drink will still be at least cool.

I only tried warm water (not hot) because it contains plastic parts. for the warm water, I feel 5-6 hours it can keep the temperature. of course it is related to the environment temperature and how warm the water you input also.

When I preheat it with boiling water, an almost full pot stays hot for almost three hours. The more coffee in it, the hotter and longer it lasts.

Yes, it did stay hot for 8 hours and warm for about 12 to 15 hours. We used on a long trip to cook meat and vegatables.

From my experience it has preserved the existing temp . The max I've used it for is an hour so far

It depends on ambient temp and available sunlight. In direct sun when the air is in the 70s it can hit in excess of 110 degrees in about 3 hours. All the variables come into play, though: ambient temp, amount of sunlight, temp of water to begin with, etc. when ambient afternoon temp was 115 and morning temp in 70s, I filled half way in the morning, filled the rest of the way in the evening with cool water and immediately had a hot shower. It can easily get hot enough to scald you. As for something to hold it, water ways about 8.85 pounds per gallon. You have to have something sturdy enough to hold 50 pounds, basically.

Yes, that is normal. The hot liquid inside will warm the air between the inner and outer layer. The warm air will warm the outer layer of the bottle and you will feel it. That is how it insulates and keeps your hot liquid hot for up to 12 hours.

You get about 20 minutes or so of hot with this cup. You can get about a hour of warm. We now own 4 of these cups and we will not use a different brand.

I took it camping...filled with near boiling water. It stayed hot/warm for about 4 hours in my sleeping bag.

It keeps it hot for 8-10 hours and warm for up to about 14 hours. I found that it helps to warm the thermos up with hot water before putting in your hot item.

It is more about how long you hold something than it is temp. At 500, only a few seconds. Did not impess me.
